You may be interested in another free app which can access WordNet and other dictionaries, OmniDictionary <http://www.omnigroup.com/applications/omnidictionary/>. If you have broadband, it's probably best to use OmniDictionary as a straight network dict client; if you don't, you can download the dictionaries and a Java server and use OD locally. f
